We will be using the same format as most Major Events with all warm-ups taking place on the adjacent warm up area. Warm-ups will be timed and your team will be notified when to be ready to move to the Competition floor. Please be prompt and adhere to the requests of your Floor Managers to ensure the smooth running of the event. Seating Would teams who have finished competing please use the Competitors Seating provided. The Gala Reception Please could you inform any supporters that come with you, that we are unable to cater for them at the reception due to the very large numbers we have to cater for. I am sure that if the parents are aware of this from the start we will not offend anyone on the night. Entry to the reception will be by ticket only. TIMETABLE FOR SUNDAY 22nd OCTOBER Failure to confirm competitor entry into the Finals by 21.00 Saturday evening will result in the next placed gymnast being included in the draw. 09:15 Open Warm-up for Individual Finals. 10:30 Vault and Beam Final (first 5 competitors) 10:55 Warm-up 11:00 Vault and Beam Final (second 5 competitors) 11:25 Warm-up 11:30 Bars and Floor Final (first 5 competitors) 11:55 warm-up 12:00 Bars and Floor Final (second 5 competitors) Coaches please note: All finalists will be introduced at the start of the competition. There will be 10 gymnasts in each final with NO carry-over score. Two finals will be run consecutively. Vault and Beam, and then Bars and Floor. Competition order will be distributed at the reception on Saturday night. There will be no introductions between each round of apparatus. Gymnasts will however be required to meet at the marshalling area in order to march on and present themselves to the judges at the start of each round. All presentations will take place at the end of the competition. As finals sometimes overrun, we have allowed a finishing time of approximately 13:00 for a suitable margin if we have extra gymnasts in finals due to a tied place in the first round. We hope that the Rushmoor Rose Bowl International will prove to be a valuable experience for you all, and hopefully you and your club will be able to join us once again in 2008. There will once again, courtesy of our sponsors TAG Farnborough and The Zone be a sightseeing trip to London on Sunday afternoon and evening. This will be a coach trip with a guide (we hope Frank is available again) finishing at Covent Garden. This trip is for all of the foreign teams who are not departing on the Sunday afternoon. Please let Colin know as soon as possible if your team wishes to take this opportunity so that we can book the appropriate transport.
